Alfred Bernhard Nobel, a Swedish inventor and philanthropist ( Người nhân đức/ bác ái),
bequeathed most of his vast fortune in trust as a fund from which annual prizes could be awarded to
individuals and organizations who had achieved the greatest benefit to humanity in a particular
year. Originally, there were six classifications for outstanding contributions designated in Nobel's
will, including chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, literature and international peace. The
prizes are administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. In 1969, a prize for economics
endowed by the Central Bank of Sweden was added. Candidates for the prizes must be nominated
in writing a qualified authority in the filed of competition. Recipients in physics, chemistry, and
economics are selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; and physiology or medicine by
the Caroline Institute; literature by the Swedish Academy; and in peace by the Norwegian Nobel
Committee appointed by Norway's parliament. The prizes are usually in Stockholm on December
10th with the King of Sweden officiating, an appropriate tribute ( n- sự bày tỏ lòng tôn kinhs )
Alfred Nobel on the anniversary of his death. Each one includes a gold medal, a diploma, and a
cash award of about one million dollars.
